Warner Bros. is ready to put its Harry Potter spin-off in trusted hands. The studio is currently in negotiations with David Yates, who helmed the final four movies in the fantasy series, to direct the first installment of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, reports Variety. Announced last September, the series will foucs on Newt Scamander, the author of the Hogwart’s text book the series takes its name from. The movies will also mark Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling‘s screenwriting debut.

There are still next to no concrete details about the second season of True Detective, but according to HBO programming president Michael Lombardo it’ll be a tad more cheery. ” It’s not as dark, but it’s not a light ride. Nic likes looking into the crevices of the soul,” the exec said at the Guardian International Television Festival in Edinburgh earlier this week. [HuffPo UK]

Its premiere date is still more than a month away but there’s finally a teaser for American Horror Story: Freak Show. The 10-second clip doesn’t show much, but it’s undeniably (and appropriately) creepy. [YouTube]
